"Gordon"
"Yes Sarah darling"
"I've had the bailiffs at the door, they reckon you've bankrupted the whole of the UK and they have several thousand creditors who are suing you personally!"
"Damn!........(long silence)..... Remember those suitcases we packed in case of emergency, get the security people to put them in the back of the Daimler, grab the kids and get to the private plane we've leased as per our Plan B.........Oh, and say nothing to your mother!"
"OK darling, shall I pack the money we put by?"
"Has it cooled down yet?"
"Yes, dear, and shall I pack your prozac supplies?

I can't believe we have a prime minister who can't even change his ring tone from the default!

I liked the funny lines above, but would the calls have been to advise the PM of yet another UK business going down the plug hole?

Hello Gordon it's me, teflon Tony here, envoy to the Middle East and the man who handed you the key's to number 10 - just wanted you to know that my timing was as usual impeccable in getting out before the sh*t hit the fan - nice to see you have your mobile on you as opposed to hurling it around the room shouting obscenities and clunking your fist.

Have a nice day.
